kitten update

I got a phone call from Beth this morning updating me on the kittens. They are exactly seven days old today. It seems that one of them was somehow clawed in the eye, probably by one of his brothers. Now keep in mind that their eyes are not open yet. But today Beth discovered an absess on/around his eye. So he had to go to the veterinarian today, where they will try to drain the injury, pry the eye open, and generally do as much repair as possible. I suppose it's very possible that he might end up blind in one eye, though undoubtedly he will still be a wonderful companion kitten. I'd much appreciate it if you'd say a prayer for him. He's at a very fragile point right now - so small, he's just not strong enough to live through a lot. But he is a strong kitten, and it would be such a tragedy to lose him at this point. He will be the most wonderful pet.
